It is created when a yellow [[Unshelled Koopa Troopa|unshelled Koopa]] climbs into an empty shell of any color (including its own, after being ejected from it). After its transformation, the shell attempts to hit [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] by spinning around and dashing towards him. It becomes impossible to separate the Koopa from it. While chasing the player, the flashing shell defeats enemies in its path; the player scores a combo in increasing [[point]] values for successive enemies defeated by a single flashing shell and [[extra life|extra lives]] starting on the eighth. It is possible to respawn the yellow unshelled Koopa that climbed into the shell, possibly leading to it dodging its own shell. | A '''flashing shell'''<ref>{{cite|title=Nintendo ''[[Mario Mania]]'' Player's Guide|page=42|date=August 1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> (alternatively '''flashing Shell'''<ref>{{cite|title=''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Volume 28|page=15|date=September 1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> or '''Flashing Shell'''<ref name=NP28>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 28|page=23|date=September 1991|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref>), also described as a '''flashing kamikaze Koopa shell''',<ref name=NPA36>{{cite|title=''[[nwiki:Nintendo Power Advance|Nintendo Power Advance]]'' Volume 4|date=Winter 2002|page=36|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> '''flashing Koopa shell''',<ref name=NP28/><ref name=NPA36/> '''crazy Koopa''',<ref name=NPA36/> or '''flashing Koopa Troopa shell''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power Advance'' Volume 4|date=Winter 2002|page=92|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> is a type of [[Koopa Shell]] found only in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its Game Boy Advance version]].

Flashing shells first appear in [[Donut Plains 4]]. [[Jump]]ing on a flashing shell causes the Mario Bros. to bounce upwards, but it does not damage it. Flashing shells can be defeated only with a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] eating it, a [[Spin Jump]], [[Super Star|invincibility]], or [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]]'s Body Press. If any Yoshi eats one, the Yoshi gains all three shell abilities (causing [[sand cloud]]s, [[fly]]ing, and breathing fire) as long as the shell stays in the Yoshi's mouth. If a yellow unshelled Koopa finds a nearby shell, a flashing shell can appear in [[3 Lemmy's Castle|#3 Lemmy's Castle]], the [[Red Switch Palace]], the [[Sunken Ghost Ship]], [[Valley of Bowser 2]], [[7 Larry's Castle|#7 Larry's Castle]], [[Star World 1]], [[Awesome]], [[Groovy]], and [[Funky (level)|Funky]]. | Flashing shells first appear in [[Donut Plains 4]].
